Brandon Browner may have shocked a few people — and ruined many NFL survivor pools — with a 94-yard interception for a touchdown Sunday in New York.

There aren’t too many people with the Calgary Stampeders who are surprised.

“He’s making plays like he always has,” said Stamps middle linebacker Juwan Simpson about his former teammate, who now plays for the Seattle Seahawks.

“He’s always had a nose for the ball. The ball ended up in his hands, and he’s faster than a lot of people give him credit for. It was a heck of a play. I’m proud of him.”

Browner’s late-game play, in which he snagged a tipped ball and raced the length of the field, helped the Seahawks secure a 36-25 victory over the New York Giants.

After four seasons in Calgary, the all-Canadian cornerback signed with the Seahawks as a free agent and promptly won a starting job.

In the past few games, he’s been matched up against the likes of Arizona Cardinals star receiver Larry Fitzgerald or the G-Men’s Hakeem Nicks. He’s lasted long enough to keep his job.

“It’s big for basically a first-year guy down there,” said Stamps defensive back Brandon Smith. “He’s taking on those challenges every week, and it’s only going to make him better.”
